British Lumber
Deal Criticized
Washington, Aug. 12 (P) A
report that the British had
bought $8,000,000 worth of lum
ber in the Soviet Union prompt
ed Rep. Norbiad (R., Ore.) yes
terday to ask an investigation
by the economic cooperation ad
ministrator. Norbiad made public a let
ter to Paul G. Hoffman, the ECA
head. It said.
"In view of the fact that tte
British economy is being sub
stantially supported by ECA
American taxpayers' funds (as
is evidenced by our current an
nual expenditures of $1,300,-
000,000 In that country) this pur
chase is certainly contrary to the
intent of congress in approving
the recovery program."
The congressman asked Hoff
man to determine the facts of
the case so that in the future
ECA money "will not be used
directly or indirectly to assist
the Soviet."
As you may know," Norbiad
wrote, "there are excess stocks
of lumber In this country, and
many of our mills in the Pacific
northwest have shut down for
lack of business.
"Certainly the ECA was not
approved by congress for the
purpose of sending funds to ben
eficiary nations to expend the
Soviet rather it was to rebuild
and strengthen those countries
as a bulwark against possible
Soviet aggression."
The Coyote is one of the few
animals in North America which
is extending its range. Origin
ally found in the open country
of the west, it has worked its
way gradually east as far as
Ohio and north into Alaska.
